Artwork: Fiery Love

└ posted on Saturday, 18 February 2012, by Novil

As part of our feature “commissioned artwork of our characters drawn by other talented artists”, the Philippine artist Jericho (Serathus) drew the picture you can see above. It is titled “Fiery Love” and dedicated to all fans of the computer role playing game Planescape: Torment from Black Isle which is known for its innovative story and great characters. Larisa sure knows how to terrify evil firemages.

Supporters can download the image in its original size (3200 x 2000) and as a wallpaper on the special page for donators.

I’m open for suggestions for subjects that you’d like to see drawn in color. A new picture will be posted every second Saturday.

Ignus isn’t a ‘fire mage’ and nor is he evil. He is permanently linked to the plane of fire, ie. fire incarnate. Fire knows no morals, it just is …and so is Ignus. He also hover in the air. I think it’s because he’s physically unable to move in any other manner, but I could be wrong.

He might not be a “full mage”, but he was definitely a student of magic; we don’t know if he burnt down half of Sigil long before he “graduated” (if there’s something like that) or if he was never released from being a mere student, because one of the former persona of the Nameless One was a prick and never thought him “good enough”.

If not pure evil – Ingus IS definitely twisted. He was before, he got even more screwy while he studied magic and now after years of being tormented (although he is such a masochist he probably enjoys it even) he is insane. Fire, as an element, is not insane. Fire is – like any other element – neutral, while Ignus is “chaotic neutral”. This is what makes him difficult to handle and dangerous. There is STILL some intellect behind insanity, paired with emotion, and while you can’t hurt or stir fire’s emotion you can do it with the ones of a once human being.

Pure fire wouldn’t betray you in the end because of “revenge” or the desire to burn down entire worlds. But Ignus does, because he knows “desire”.
